Using Word for MAC latest version... How do you find words in a document formatted with Strikethrough? I have a large document that was edited without "Tracking" so now I must find each word that has "strikethrough".

    If Strikethrough character formatting was applied directly you can use Edit> Find> Advanced Find & Replace. In the dialog window:

    1. Leave the Find field blank
    2. If necessary click the Expand button 🔽
    3. Click the Format button & select Font
    4. In the Find Font dialog check the box for Strikethrough. Leave everything else as is
    5. Click OK
    6. Click Find Next
      1. Alternatively, check the box for Highlight all items found in
      2. Select Main Document
      3. Click Find All

    If the Strikethrough was applied by the use of a Style you can do as above but select Style in the Format list then select the name of the Style that was used.

    Hi

    On the Review tab of the Ribbon click the Accept or Reject buttons for each change you want to either keep or reject.
